In the video, Thacker tells police he killed Briana Ault as he lies on the floor of a Fort Smith apartment waiting for emergency medical technicians to arrive. Thacker also apologizes to the Ault family in the video.

Prosecutors then played a taped interview recorded as Thacker recovered in a hospital nearly a month after Ault's death.

In the recording Thacker said he "basically cut her throat."

But defense attorneys told 40/29 News those confessions are not accurate because Thacker was near death after being shot and on morphine while in the hospital when he spoke to investigators.

"Elvis' statements were coerced and his confessions, we believe that's a false confession," said Gretchen Mosley, who is serving as the indigent defense attorney for Thacker.

Prosecutors told 40/29 News they could rest their case as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.

Last week Elvis' brother, Johnathen Thacker, testified as the star witness for the prosecution.
